Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of transmitting communication signals to a plurality of targeted receivers includes transmitting one or more information streams for individual ones of the targeted receivers according to ongoing transmission scheduling, and controlling the ongoing transmission scheduling to reduce the number of impairment contributors that must be considered in received signal processing by scheduled ones of the targeted receivers. In one embodiment the controlling comprises scheduling the targeted receivers to avoid transmissions to more than one targeted receiver at a time. In the same or another embodiment, the controlling comprises at least one of using equal transmit power allocations for one or more information streams, and using fixed transmit power allocations for one or more of the information streams.
